Visceral Fat Reduction - Metabolic &
Respiratory Improvements
Visceral Fat Reduction Study Results
A modest weight loss of 5-10 percent of body weight improved the metabolic
profile in overweight and simple obesity. Recent weight loss data showed
that a moderate weight loss of about 15-20 percent of baseline body weight
was associated with improved respiratory function and metabolic profile
in patients with severe obesity.
Visceral Fat Reduction Study Conclusion
It may be suggested that a preferential visceral fat mobilisation could
at least in part explain these observations and that the association between
visceral fat loss and metabolic improvements could be mediated by a reduction
in liver fat infiltration. Reduction of visceral fat accumulation should
be a major goal of any treatment of obesity.
